The success of McDonald's is only party due to marketing. The foods they serve (salt, sugar, fat) were all incredibly important and hard-wired into our brains to earch them out because of relative scarcity. Even though now we consciously realize these items are cheap and ubiquitous, our ancient animal brain still signals strongly for these tastes and foods.
'our ancient brain'... speak for yourself.

yeah I've been wondering why they don't use deep oil well drilling to drill holes down to where it is really hot, then pour in water and make steam.
probably too far down
but fuck once you drill the hole all you got to do is pour in the water (says the non engineer), it must be a cover up by the ralien controlled oil componies
I live over thermal sites and here we often drill wells to heat our homes.

I'm not sure about the whole population argument -- but I am excited to see what catastrophe or genocide results from it.

considering that fertillity rates globally are plummeting, a century from now the population problem could very well be there's not enough of us breeding. http://www.rickety.us/2009/10/world-total-fertility-rate-declines/

My town has gone from a population of 25,000 to 3,500,000 in 30 years. At that rate nobody will be left.

Isn't this a self limiting problem?
I was just reading about the Yapese. They have lived on the island of Yap for thousands of years, and so they have had to deal with the problem of overpopulation for thousands of years. They developed a complex social system that has an effect of greatly reducing the birth rate.
When population size begins to significantly effect the quality of life, my guess is that the people of the world will do what humans do best - adapt.

And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

I imagine the crisis just evolving into a bunch of hungry people. Unavoidable, and it sucks.

I bet that instead of a bunch of hungry people we would get a group of well fed people and a group of really hungry people - the haves and the have nots. On Yap they had a cast system and the lowest cast (very similar to the untouchables in India) were basically the buffer so that when the population increased and things went bad they were the expendable ones.

How does the "world fertility rate" decline exactly? How do they measure it?

Yes. Many developed nations already have birth rates far lower than "replacement rate" (about 2.1 babies, per family).
